It exists, sort of... but only for ringtones. There's a service (the name of which I cannot remember) that allows you to play part of a song into your phone, and it will then identify the song and offer ringtones of it for download.
It was a combination of imitation and following directions. When a child sees an adult perform a task, they tend to follow all the steps the adult took so that they'll get the adult's approval, regardless of the actual relevance of the steps.
More than anything, I'd say that this shows how indoctrinated people are into following orders. When even a monkey knows that some of what it is told to do is absolutely pointless, and a human doesn't, I find that a little bit scary. Are we slowly losing our ability to think critically, is it being bred out of us, or are we just taught to ignore reason any obey?
What's more, some of those false starts may just be a future organ that hasn't fully evolved yet, or hasn't yet evolved out of existence because of a replacement organ.
Notice that they put in a pronunciaton guide for one man's name. Looks like this reporter is paid by the word!
Apart from that, this doesn't surprise me. I've always been able to hear a high-pitched whine given off by most electrical equipment; my parents can't hear it.
I followed those instructions, did a "modprobe nvidia" under a failafe (no X) session, and the error I get is:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/volatile/nvidia.ko): No such device
Which confuses me. If I try "insmod/......./nvidia.ko" I get:
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/volatile/nvidia.ko': -1 No such device
Which also confuses me. Any ideas? I'm using an nVidia GeForce 2 TI, which shows up under lsmod as "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15DDR [GeForce2 Ti] (rev a4)".
I adore Ubuntu. I had Mandrake running on one of my boxen for a while. When I did a system upgrade that included updates to Samba, I found I could no longer START Samba. Which pissed me off, because I was using this system as a file server for my Windows machines.
So I installed Ubuntu instead, and although I've updated both my kernel and Samba, my configuration is intact, and it runs perfectly. I'm running 5.10 (Breezy Badger), and so far I love it. It's quick, it's intuitive, it's user-friendly, it's FREE, and it's robust.
Only one problem... I can't get my nVidia card to install the GLX drivers. Not that I have EVER been able to do that under Linux on that box... but that's another story.
Ubuntu + samba + me = love.

Still not quite working.

Shame on you for thinking anyone gives a shit. Srsly.
There's nothing elite about bloggers. They're just minor celebrities, like the guy that invented Cheetos.
May the FSM have mercy on you...
Gee, I wonder why.
Sorry, you're wrong. See?
There are wild chickens on the Lost island, too.
Both. Some were already there, and some were freed from farms during a hurricane about 15 years back.
There are wild chickens on the Hawaiian island of Kauai...

You see, you guys have missed the humor. I used a Unix command in a story about Internet Explorer. Ha ha.

I've figured out the problem. Apparently I need the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers, not the plain old nvidia-glx drivers. Oy...

Does Netcraft confirm it?
The point is that you can Google for things on Wikipedia.
Or maybe it's the cry of people who know that you can find everything on Google, no matter what.
Countdown until you hear about someone using one on CSI: 5... 4... 3...
I can make up really technical sounding names, too!
